There's a book club where I used to work, which I still attend. My role from the outset, nearly a decade ago now, seems to have been the curmudgeon who dislikes whatever anyone else has chosen. I'm not sure how the role was assigned, but I'm a little worried at how easily I've come to fit into it.

It only gets better, in the sense of more marked. And becomes the 'expected of you', which is a bit of a trap.

This, Eric, is self-evident to all of us SCs; like fine wines, we get better and better until the moment when we really, really should be sold off for charity. I'd like to sell everything off as a great gift to charity: my own.

Imagine having everything one has gathered through life converted back into real money again. Wow, the new choices one would have available!
